Health Insurance Mandates -The Bigger Picture

[FarLeftFist]

14. Really, allies? How about the little girl who battled cancer now being doomed to a life of

Discrimination, price-gouging, or denial b/c of pre-existing condition. Choose your allies carefully. This bill is a VICTORY. It is a victory for the people. The reforms in the bill far out-weigh everyone's whiny issues about a mandate. This is what I don't get, progressives sometimes don't even realize that progress is sometimes measured one inch at a time. But most would rather have nothing if the world doesn't fit their perfect ideal little mould. Insurance companies are forced to spend 80% of costs on healthcare, not CEO salaries, the people! And do you know how good it feels as a parent of 2 little boys to know they could be covered until 27? It feels great. Really great. Not to mention crackdowns on price-gouging and discrimination. This bill is the morally right thing to do, for society, for our country. It's progress that can be improved upon. I wish the professional Left stood up for it because it is terrible to think of all those parents, children, students, elderly people that will be negatively impacted if SCOTUS overturns it. It's heart-breaking.
